DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Sofia Coppola United States

His masterpiece 'The Conversation' (1974) remains the definitive film exploration of surveillance anxiety, following a paranoid surveillance expert entangled in a morally ambiguous case.

 Yorgos Lanthimos Greece

Through films like 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' and 'Poor Things,' he creates suffocating worlds where characters are trapped under oppressive observation and control systems.
